VINO Young Mem in Politics.
Albany Argus


The sneers of the Republican or
gans against young men in politict
indicate the short-sightedness o.
the party they represent. The
Democratic party, by its prompt
and emphatic recognition Of the
claims of the young men, places
itself in accord with the spirit OF
the age. 1t believes more in the
honest enthusiasm and noble am-
bition of youth and the patriotic
spirit that animates it than in the
calculating motives, reactionary
tendencies. and selfshness of many
of the graybeards, who claim, by
right Of seniority alone, che first
places in the political ranks. It re-
aiizes the fact that the men Of bold
and gifted natures, who have name
and fame to make, are preferable in
the arena of public life to those
whom years Of long service and re-
peatedly gratified ambition have
rendered, at least, incapable of as
piring to higher aims and purposes.
The young men, like the age, are
progressive they desire to advence,
not to retrograde The new que9-
tions, new ideas, new order of things,
enlist their attention in a very diff
ferent manner in which the grizzled
veterans Of politics would deal with
them. The young men have no OBJ
solete prejudices, no reactionary
impulses, no letters Of the past to
cramp their energies They enter
upon their work with ardor and en-
thusiasm. and feel that they must
continually progress, and not turn
back like towards. Animated by
such spirit, they are the best cal
culated to fulfill the mission laid
down for them, with brave hearts
and untlagging industry. As each
fresh goals won, their mental sight
is sharpened, an. tAc'rmental force
is strengthed, by means % an en-
larged horizon, Thus they are en-
abled 10 keep pace with the gigan-
tic strides of our country, while
many oftheir elders live in the past
and feel out of sorts with the UNI
congenial present. The pages Of
history are filled with the triumphs
ofyounG menin every path of life
that leads TO renown and usefulness,
The confidence shown by the
Democratic party in its young men
has fever been misplaced To their
fiery energies, ardent enthusiasm
and determination to succeed may
be attributed some Of the most no.
table victories of the party.

Circus nurslariss.

During the advent Of the circus,
GAINESVILLE put on city airs. Sew
eral burglaries occurred on Wcdnes-
day night. Attempts were made to
enter the premises of Mrs. Harrison
and DIR. Shearer, but without success.
Mr.. G. N. Byars' house was burglar
lied and several articles Of jewelry
stolen on the night Of the show. But
we don't suppose that GAINESVILLE
can claim the credit of 1t, strictly
speaking, for it Is notorious that cir
cuses are generally accompanied by
some of the most low-down and the
worst thieves, and most reckless and
desperatescoundrels unhung. whoply
their vocation while the folks are
absent from home at the show.

william B. King.


William B. King. who died on the
morning of the 2lst inst, at the
home of his mothers in GAINESVILLE,
at the age of twenty-five years, was
the only son of Hon. T W. King,
well known in this community as
Judge Of the County and Criminal
courts for number of years.
Modest, unassumiDg and unobstru-
sive, the son was unknown to many
of the friends and admirers of his
father who died when Willie was
yet youth. He inherited the taste
and fondness of his father for litera-
ture and books and had read extern
sively for one Of his age and oppor-
tunlties. AT the death Of his father
his mother was left with five child
rem none of them grown. The heroic
struggle which she has made to rear
the family thus left on her hands is
known and appreciated by those who
know her we'll. AS soon as Willie
could obtain employment and could
be spared from the family, he de-
voted himself to the assistance of his
mother in maintaining the household
and has been to his mother and sis
tiers a faithful and affectionate son
and brother. Unlike many young
men thrown upon the world without
a father, who give themselves up to
idleness and dissipation, becoming a
tax and a burden upon their
widowered mothers, he realized the
responsibility which the death of his
father had imposed upon him, and
treading the path of sobriety, nobly
and theoretically applied himself to
aid in the support of his mother and
family, and thus became the staff
upon which his mother leaned fol-
comfort and assistance. The blow is
a hard one and the dispensation Of
Providence to us mysterious which
deprives her of her only stay and
prop just as she was feeling she could
lean securely upon him. But it ought
to be a great pride and consolation to
her to reflect that he nobly discharged
his duty as son and citizen. He
acted well his part. He sleeps in
Greenwood by the side of his hon.
ored father. Peace to his ashes-all
honor to bis memory.
